Playboi Carti Clarifies Controversial Album Cover

by

There are far too many questions about Playboi Carti’s upcoming album I AM MUSIC right now, which we’re sure will all be answered by at least 2076. Jokes aside, even though we don’t know much about the release date, this official rollout has fans feeling quite hopeful. But it doesn’t help that Carti’s social media posts on his Instagram page have sometimes given fans the wrong idea. For example, he posted what seemed to be the cover art for the new project on IG, captioning it with all the usual promo stuff. As you will notice immediately in the post below, this artwork is an homage to Lil Wayne’s Dedication mixtape series.

However, Playboi Carti clarified via his Instagram Story this weekend that this cover art is not the official artwork for I AM MUSIC. Most fans exhaled a sigh of relief at this, as they preferred an original concept or just something that was more aesthetically pleasing. Either way, they’re happy to bump the new single “ALL RED” and eagerly await what’s to come. Still, this Lil Wayne connection arrived at an interesting time…

Playboi Carti’s Dedication Homage Isn’t The Official I AM MUSIC Cover

If you’re reading this from under a rock, Lil Wayne was at the center of controversy when Kendrick Lamar announced his Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans next year. Many feel like Weezy deserved it instead since he’s actually from the city, but he admitted that he set himself up for disappointment with the illusion of the opportunity. As such, fans feel pretty split about it, especially with K.Dot’s Drake battle in the background and the complex history between the Roc and Cash Money. Maybe Playboi Carti subtly offered his take on this whole thing, or this is just a perfectly timed coincidence.

Meanwhile, Playboi Carti recently responded to Adin Ross’ positive reaction to his new song “ALL RED.” “@adinross YOU AINT GOT TO LIKE ME BUT I RESPECT YOU KEEPING IT REAL ABOUT MY MUSIC SOME S**T JUST UNDENIABLE,” he wrote as the caption to a screenshot of Ross’ recent livestream. Let’s see if the official album cover for I AM MUSIC – whenever it drops – is also undeniable.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Pays Tribute To PnB Rock In Late Rapper’s Home State

by

A Boogie opened his recent show at Penn State with a moving dedication. “This was our brother’s home state. We do this for our brother, our friend, rest in peace, PnB Rock.” The show was Boogie’s 40th sold-out show of the year. The Nittany Lion crowd went wild at the dedication before Boogie got into his set. As mentioned, Boogie has proven extremely popular this year and basically sells out every venue he plays at.

PnB Rock was killed in Los Angeles last year. He was robbed and fatally shot outside Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles in South LA. A 17-year-old and his father were charged with the murder. They are yet to face trial on charges of first-degree murder and second-degree robbery. As mentioned by Boogie, Rock was originally born in Pennsylvania. He was born in Philadelphia in 1991. What do you think of Boogie’s dedication? Let us know in the comments.

Kai Cenat To Direct Video For A Boogie

Elsewhere, it was recently reported that Boogie had enlisted the services of Kai Cenat to direct an upcoming music video. Cenat showed off some behind-the-scenes footage from the set. It’s unknown when the video will be out or for what song it is for. It’s another major win for the ever-popular streamer, who recently released his directorial debut with the short film Global Pursuit. It shows the continued rise of Cenat, who also recently did a 24-hour livestream with Offset.

Meanwhile, Boogie recently stirred a little controversy when he put himself in the highest echelons of the New York rap scene. Speaking with Rolling Stone, Boogie laid out his “Mount Rushmore” of New York musicians. He chose himself, Jay-Z, Cardi B, and 50 Cent. He got a fair amount of backlash, with people trying to check his ego. Despite the criticism, he was undeterred and doubled down on his comments. Follow HotNewHipHop for all the latest music news.
